LabelLayoutModifier which adjusts Android text placement to match Figma text placement

        WaveFontWeight.Bold.fontWeight to R.font.nationale_bold,

    internal fun asTextStyle(): TextStyle {
        return TextStyle(
            fontSize = fontSize,
            fontWeight = fontWeight,
            fontFamily = fontFamily,

Reducing should be just as possible as reducing it. I would highly recommend to not use lineheight equal to the font size though, this is a common design mistake that does not take into account ascending and descending glyphs in the font.

You can read up on the space that fonts take up here: https://dev.to/canyudev/android-and-figma-typography-and-how-to-achieve-100-fidelity-l40

(ignore the calculations, these are pre-Compose-change)

Thanks. You mean, Reducing should be just as possible as increasing it?

Sorry for not getting back to you: Yes, that's aboslutely what i meant.
